I watched a little of that, man, that goes way back. There was a segment with Rodney Allen Rigby. Anyone remember him?

In Waco, station KWTX featured Uncle Elihu (with his ukulele) and his hand-puppet sidekick P.J. Possum every afternoon. Kids in the studio lined up to get a "Possum Grin" when P.J. would nibble their fingers.
We lived across the street from the 10-acre field behind the studio where we played baseball and banged on the cables holding up their antenna. The studio building is now a funeral home and the field has been replaced with a small crowded subdivision of lookalike homes.The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.—Martin Luther King Jr. -

It does indeed look like a young Mr. Dean.
But not Tom Bodett, former Alaskan, now a Woodchuck*. He's the guy who kept the light on for us at Motel Six.

I need better health. The medical system stinks.
They don't share info very well and everyone wants

49 years ago, Ted Turner's WTCG Channel 17 in Atlanta became the first
TV 'Super Station" by sending its satellite to four U.S.cable systems in Nebraska, Virginia,
Alabama, and Kansas. It was just the second cable television channel, after HBO, to use a
satellite to deliver programming. By 1978, the channel was available to viewers in all 50 states."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Harry / Marietta GA -
